About The Position

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a new team and build a dedicated Design System from the ground up. We are seeking highly skilled UI Engineers to build and drive the foundational Design System for Netflix's Commerce business domain. We are hiring multiple engineers across both the Web and TV platforms.
The role will be centered on:
Component Development: Designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality, production-ready, accessible, and performant UI components. This work is primarily focused on building React-based design system components.
Technology Stack: The role requires deep expertise in TypeScript/JavaScript, the React framework, and modern CSS frameworks to deliver reusable component libraries.
AI First Development: Develop AI-driven tools that benefit both our own development workflow and the efficiency of those who use our design system.
Platform Scope: Our components must maintain a consistent experience across multiple platforms, so prior experience with UI development on any TV UI platform is a significant plus for the roles that will contribute to the TV platform.
Strategy & Roadmaps: Work closely with System Designers and Product Design leadership to define, set, and implement the technical roadmap for the Commerce Design System.
Collaboration: The engineer will partner with Commerce experience designers and Core Design System engineers to integrate core components, design tokens, and APIs, and with product teams to drive the successful adoption of the components into various product spaces.
Adoption & Enablement: Collaborate with product engineering teams to drive successful adoption of Design System components into their respective product spaces.
You will join a new, high-impact team dedicated specifically to the Commerce domain design system. The Commerce Domain owns a large and mission-critical surface area of the Netflix product, encompassing the user's entire journey from initial engagement to ongoing membership. This includes vital touchpoints such as user acquisition, login and authentication, account and identity management, the home page and landing pages, payment processing, and partner flows. Your work provides the foundational building blocks for product engineers who build these products every day.
This team operates at the intersection of design and engineering, focused on creating scalable, high-quality, and accessible user interfaces that drive the business. You will work side-by-side with System Designers, Product Design, and cross-functional product engineering teams. Your work will directly influence the development efficiency, visual quality, and usability of features that millions of Netflix users interact with globally.
The engineers you will be working with on the team are not only exceptionally talented but also deeply supportive and collaborative. We believe in providing the best environment for success, and a core part of our mission is to enable other product engineering teams to succeed by providing them with a robust design system.
